England captain Harry Kane on Monday condemned the "vile" racial abuse, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Bukayo Saka had to face on social media following the Three Lions' loss in the Euro Cup final against Italy.
Italy ended England's dream to win the Euro 2020 here at the Wembley Stadium on Sunday (local time). Azzurri defeated England 3-2 on penalties after the normal 90-minute action had finished at 1-1 and even extra time was not able to break the deadlock.
